Members Particapate in SCBA Training
Monday, January 5, 2015

This evening our weekly training covered our Self Contained Breathing Apparatus system. Members put on the face masks which were set-up so that their vision was totally blocked.

They were then instructed to inspect their air pack. Each pack had an issue with it, whether it be the regulator not hooked or something as simple as the straps being twisted. Once on air, they were instructed to perform a left handed search through a maze. They had to identify and utilize several different tools throughout the maze.

Once through the maze, the members were advised that they had become trapped and had to call out a "mayday" utilizing the "LUNAR" report.

After calling out the mayday, they continued to search, at which point they found a "trapped firefighter" who was out of air. The buddy breathing function of the SCBA was used to supply the trapped firefighter with air.

All of this was done while on air and not able to see.

Great job by all the members who took part in this training exercise.
